       Our acting is not what we may think it is. Our acting is not what we think it is. Our doing actually becomes surrendering. We surrender when we accept the truth of what we see in the mirror. Like I said, the mirror often reveals things to us, that, at first glance, aren’t pleasant. Like, for instance, we may look into the mirror and see that we are too overweight. Upon this realization, we have one of two choices. We can either act upon what we have seen, and make a strategy to lose some weight, or we can just walk away and ignore that truth. The choice is ours. We don’t have to begin the process of losing weight, but at the same time, if we don’t we cannot expect to reap the benefits that will come from being thinner. We persevere in the truth only when we accept it, when we surrender to it. Next James says, “If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.” Now there is a shift from what we see to what we say. We move here from looking to speaking.
